About this house sitting position in Asquith

We have a beautiful little 3-bedroom house in a beautiful street in peaceful Asquith, 40 minutes from the Sydney CBD and close to beautiful national parks. The house is surrounded by a garden which mainly takes care of itself and does not need much care. We are a little pet rescue haven and have 4 ex-battery hens who live in the garden, free range in half of it and basically take care of themselves letting themselves in and out of their coop via a solar powered automatic door. They also lay 4 eggs a day which we share with them as they love gobbling up their own creations. We have 4 guinea pigs who live inside the house and are very snuggly and low maintenance. They love their treats, their hay and a cuddle and are very friendly guys. And we have Maggie, our 10 year old rescue dog, a little 4.5kg mini foxie who is a calm, kind and gentle soul. She likes people but needs someone who is patient and gives her space and time to warm up. She avoids younger kids that don't respect her boundaries. She does not like other dogs which must mainly stem from her months in the pound and though we are doing lots of positive training in regards to this, she will probably never warm up to them again. Which is fine because she loves her home, her sleep and her humans. Although it sounds like a lot of little souls to look after, Maggie is our main pet to sit as the neighbours are well trained helping out with the hens and the guineas and they really don't need much of a fuss.
